THE Mackay Cutters have signed Former Panthers, Brisbane Broncos and Hull KR prop forward Joel Clinton for the next two Queensland Cup seasons.

The signing of Clinton, who has played more than 200 first grade matches in Australia and in England is a massive boost to next year's Cutters' roster with the club just weeks ago signing new coach Kim Williams.

Clinton has spent the past two seasons in England playing for Hull KR. He won an NRL premiership with the Panthers in 2003. He also played a single Test match for Australia in 2004.

The signing coup is a big development for the club as it starts to confirm its roster for next season.

"Joel is a massive signing for us and I am sure he will fit perfectly in to our existing club culture," Cutters CEO Glenn Ottaway said.

"He will also bring a wealth of experience of playing at the highest level in the game."

Clinton said he was happy to join the club.

"I am really excited about this new phase in my life," he said

"I still have plenty of good years in footy left in me, but it was certainly time to start thinking about my post football career."

The Cutters have 10 wins in the Q-Cup and will look to equal their best ever Intrust Super Cup season this weekend against Norths.
